Description: Amarok Dbus Notify makes Amarok show a pop-up notification integrated with you window manager on play/pause and song change. The pop-up disappears after a few seconds and lets you pause/stop/skip song through buttons.Last changelog:
0.3: * Cover image support! (needs python-imaging - the script works without it but it won't show images) * Adjustable display time * Fixed a bug that prevented songs containing and & in the metadata to be shown (guess why... ) 0.2: Added some logic around Amarok's screw-ups
It's a nice and good script. For better handling it was intersting also can change the "Score Stars"(? - I only know the german title exact "Stückbewertung" with up to 5 stars).
Hi,
I like the idea, i feel that this is much better than using any kind of plasmoid for the same thing.
However, I do have one suggestion/question: would it be possible to change notification display time, since the message pops up and disapears so quickly you usually don't get a chance to use player controls? Just a few seconds more would be great... ;)
Other than that it's a very nice desktop addition.
Why not, right now it does just the wrong thing having a fixed display time, I had already decided not to set time at all so to stick to the notification daemon default, but I think implementing a preference shouldn't be that hard.
Next version will also display covers!!
